Upon closer inspection, this was the first time Tao Qian came into contact with Zhang Baisui, the robber.

Having met him twice, Tao Qian had already gained an insight into his character.

The second generation of the warlord has a very good appearance. Although he is a little indecisive, he is still a good person.

In particular, Zhang Baisui has now practiced Dharma. Although he is only a "destiny-pregnant monk", he is also a member of the spiritual world. The moral standards here are much lower than those in the ordinary world. By comparison, this young man is indeed a good person.

Zhang Baisui had no idea that this overseas dragon demon worshiped by the Jin family had inexplicably issued a good person card to him.

Being provoked, he spoke angrily, first slandering the Ninth Prince Zhu Qi.

Several monks in the field were so frightened that they almost lost their wits. They all rushed over and tried to cover the hundred-year-old mouth.

Tao Qian found it funny, but he also understood.

"Although he is the second generation, he was sent to be a proton. He should be careful in his words and deeds."

"The other thing is this group of guarding monks. It was originally guessed that they were from the big sect that supported the warlord Zhang Jiudeng, but now it seems that they are not. They are really big sects and they shouldn't be so timid."

After a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Tao Qian was about to say goodbye.

Suddenly, Jin Xiuzhu, who had been lying in Zhang Baisui's arms, stood up.

Wiping his tears, he handed the jade machine filled with gold, silver, treasures, spiritual materials and techniques to ward off evil spirits back to Tao Qian, and at the same time said with great sincerity:

"Dad's will has made it clear that the Jin family's treasury is the reward for Sister Yunrong and Senior Jinlin escorting Xiuzhu here. If Senior Jinlin really thinks that Xiuzhu is a junior, don't refuse."

"Brother Zhang is still willing to abide by the engagement and marry Xiuzhu. This is Xiuzhu's blessing from her previous life."

"It's just that now that Xiuzhu's whole family is dead, there is no blood relative to take care of Xiuzhu. Only sister Yunrong and senior Jinlin are left. I wonder if they can stay for a while and send Xiuzhu to the sedan chair before leaving."

After uttering these three sentences, a strange color flashed in Tao Qian's eyes.

But I didn’t expect it!

Not long ago, she was a pretty and innocent eldest lady, but now she has grown up.

Obviously Jin Xiuzhu also knew that for mortals or some ordinary monks, the Jin family's treasury, which was extremely precious, had no attraction for Tao Qian and Yun Rong.

If it ends like this, let the two of them leave.

Even if Zhang Baisui was taken advantage of by the provocateur and agreed to fulfill the engagement, she would have no guarantee.

On the contrary, she gave up the jade device to ward off evil spirits and found a reason for the two of them to stay in the Zhang Mansion. Even if it was only for a period of time, she, Jin Xiuzhu, would have someone to rely on and someone to back her up.

If within these few days, she could seize the opportunity and get closer to the two of them.

Even if you marry into the Zhang family as an orphan, your life may not be miserable.

"It's no wonder that she suddenly encountered such a huge disaster, her whole family died, and she was the only one left."

"It's normal to experience sudden growth."

Thinking of this, Tao Qian sighed inwardly.

Then under Jin Xiuzhu's uneasy gaze, she nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Jin Xiuzhu's eyes couldn't hide the joy.

Zhang Baisui on the side didn't notice anything was wrong, but he was just worried about the group of guarding monks, the housekeeper and others sent by Zhang Jiudeng to take care of the young master.

These people did not dare to disobey the young master's decision in public, but they had already made up their minds and immediately sent people to inquire about the relevant information.

If the Zhao Palace insists on killing the Jin family, then they will force Jin Xiuzhu to be sent away.

Because of this unexpected turn of events, the Zhang family except Zhang Baisui didn't have a good look towards Tao Qian and Yun Rong.

Until the next moment, Tao Qian stuffed the Jin family treasury back into Jin Xiuzhu's hands, and then said:

"If you say it's a dowry, it's a dowry."

"It's not that I look down on your Jin family, it's just that Yun Rong and I don't lack these things."

"When you get married, as your only elders, Yun Rong and I will give you another big gift."

After hearing these two sentences, the Zhang family looked much better.

Jin Xiuzhu was touched by something and cried and laughed.

…

Although Zhang Baisui was provoked, he promised not to break the contract.

However, Jin Xiuzhu and Tao Qian's group still did not stay in the Zhang Mansion. The guards and housekeepers sent people out to find out more. After confirming that the Zhao Prince's Mansion had not punished the Jin family in any way, they were placed in an unoccupied mansion next door.

During the process, Tao Qian had nothing to do, so he randomly selected a monk from the Zhang Mansion to guard him. With a slap of his palm, he got a glimpse of the origins of this group of people.

At the same time, I also learned some information about the ridiculous warlord Zhang Jiudeng.

"The Way of Heaven!"

"It claims to be a Taoist sect, but it is actually a leftist force. It was originally a secret sect in the ancient Qin province. Taking advantage of the breaking of the forbidden law, the entire sect's monks, big and small, joined the world collectively."

"Due to the special nature of the compiled Jade Emperor Celestial Immortal Origin Sutra, this sect grew wildly with the power of Shinto incense, and soon became the leading left-right sect in the ancient Qin province."

"In order to extend his influence beyond the ancient Qin Dynasty, he also connected with the great warlord Zhang Jiudeng and became one of the many spiritual forces that supported this warlord."

"This sect is good at cultivating the mind, calling on the gods and other magical means. Once prepared, it can leapfrog the level and fight, but it will not last long, and each killing battle will cost a huge price."

"As time goes by and the number of times increases, you will die violently."

"In order to gain Zhang Jiudeng's trust, this sect used a side plan."

"First, I created a false god and called it the [Golden Lotus Goddess], and then fed it with the power of incense and fire magic for several months. This goddess was reincarnated from the dead, with unparalleled beauty and fairy aura. Then she was presented to Zhang Jiudeng by the gods."

"This warlord is really a lustful ghost. After he got the goddess, he was extremely happy and completely connected with the immortal way. This also made the ancient Qin province even more chaotic."

In a quiet room in Beppu, Tao Qian held Yun Rong in his arms and looked at the narrative that burst out in his mind.

It was fine at first, but I felt that this force called "Celestial Immortal Way" was a slightly normal heresy, and there was nothing wrong with taking advantage of the situation.

But later, when he saw the fake gods, feeding the goddess with incense, etc., Tao Qian immediately frowned, and gradually felt that something was wrong.

"There are all kinds of evil ways, and the demons are dancing wildly."

"There are records in the memories of both original bodies. The territory of ancient Qin Province is not inferior to that of Southern Guangdong in terms of population, and its heritage far exceeds that of Southern Guangdong."

"Because the ancient Qin Province played an extremely important role in the country's territory, it was not only a battleground for military strategists for thousands of years, but its provincial capital [Xiajing] was also the ancient capital of many dynasties."

"Such a large province with outstanding people has now fallen into the hands of a ridiculous warlord, and the people may be in great trouble."

From a small glimpse into the big picture, Tao Qian could already guess the living conditions of hundreds of millions of civilians in the ancient Qin province from a little monk of the Celestial Immortal Way.

Unfortunately, there is nothing he can do for the time being.

This world seems to be like this. It is far more than just one ancient Qin province.

Even after Tao Qian's efforts, Southern Guangdong, which had eliminated the hidden dangers of demons and insurrectionary armies, was now only better off than other provinces under the protection of the Yingzong.

There are so many causes of this troubled world. It can be said to be a real mess that no one dares to say they can solve.

What's more, Tao Qian himself is now cautiously trying to survive this first calamity in the world.

It can be known from the previous descriptions of Mrs. Mei.

Within ten days!

There will be disaster.

Now, only two or three days have passed.

Tao Qian also planned to delay for a moment or two before ending it with Mei Niangzi or Zhang Baisui, the two robbers.

But after the huge changes in Jin Mansion, Tao Qian knew about it immediately.

We can't delay any longer, we need to face the disaster, otherwise the next disaster will be even more terrifying.

Now in contact with Zhang Baisui for the first time, Tao Qian knew nothing about the existence of the Immortal Way and that Zhang Jiudeng was a ridiculous warlord and a lustful ghost. However, he knew nothing about the rest, such as the collusion between Zhang Jiudeng and Zhu Qi. He did not elicit anything.

Accidents and troubles are coming.

What Tao Qian is thinking about now is still the great change in the Jin Mansion and the shocking secrets he gleaned from it.

"It can be seen from the description of Lian Yulou that Zhu Qi's current target is the Xijing army Xiao Chenzhou, but it should only be the first target."

"Such a large-scale war must have a big plan."

"But those changes cannot affect me yet. The trouble I have to face first, which is also the opportunity and the key to overcoming the disaster, is the True Jade Lian Tower of the Evil Sect."

"This person is also petty and vengeful. When he escaped, he marked me with an evil spirit. He obviously planned to seek revenge from me in the future."

"It just so happens that the secret method of overcoming tribulation in my body is also pointed at this person, so the evil spirit is not eliminated."

"Lian Yulou is Xiao Chenzhou's male favorite and is also connected with the Ninth Prince Zhu Qi. He must know what kind of disaster is brewing in the Demon City right now?"

"If he seeks revenge from me, I can set a trap in advance..."

Tao Qian frowned and thought to himself.

Although he is a true successor of the Lingbao Sect with a lot of treasures and many backers.

Keren Lianyulou's background is not small. Not to mention the true biography of the Ni sect, he was a giant in the demonic way in his previous life.

Although there is a small advantage that Tao Qian knows the details of Lian Yulou, the latter does not know Tao Qian's background and only thinks that he is a special dragon demon.
